I had one of these a little while ago (I think they just wanted a domain without paying), luckily I googled the email address and noticed a large "don't trust this site/person" site.

This person sounds like an undercover sales man.

I have had this multiple times. They are normally very serious sounding people like they actually want to buy it. Someone i knew for a long time but after awhile he admitted that he was trying to scam me out of 300$ for an apraisal at his site!!!

this is happing a lot, one of the things to look out for is the e mail address.lets say tom<at>somedomain.com go to somedomain.com and you will find its a free e mail address but usually the crap site they want the appraisal done by would be enough to but you off,

Isn't that the truth, the internet makes it so easy too.
